- Next, we must proceed to saute the chopped shallots with the bacon of ham in a frying pan.
- We introduce in a bowl the chopped meats, chopped bacon, sauteed shallots and the cognac of maceration. After this step, we take a mold and cover the bottom with minced meat and we make a hollow in the center with a spoon. This hole should be filled with macerated liver. A delicious option is to cover the bottom and sides of the mold with bacon so that the terrine and the resulting recipes do is covered with strips of bacon.
- Cover the terrine and proceed to its cooking in the bath-style in the oven for 15 minutes at 200ºC. Then we lower the cooking to 160 degrees and let it cook for about two hours until the terrine has reached between 55 and 82 degrees, which we can measure thanks to a thermometer.
